Folly is joy to him who is without any wisdom, but a man of understanding walks uprightly.
And to man He said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom! And to depart from evil is understanding!
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; all practicing them have good understanding; His praise stands forever.
To work out evil devices is as laughter to a fool; so wisdom is to a man of understanding.
One despising his friend lacks heart, but a man of understanding remains silent.
A wise one fears and departs from evil, but the fool rages and is sure.
The wisdom of the wise is to understand his way, but the folly of fools is deceit.
Fools laugh at sin, but among the righteous there is favor.
Without wisdom, purposes are defeated, but by many wise men they are established.
Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you.
Ponder the path of your feet, and all your ways will be established.
See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Who is wise and knowing among you? Let him show his works by his good conduct with meekness of wisdom.
